Using venv in Python
Using venv in Python allows you to create a virtual environment, which is an isolated environment to manage dependencies for a specific project. Here's how you can use it step by step:
1. Create a Virtual Environment
- Open your terminal or command prompt.
- Navigate to the folder where you want to create the virtual environment.
- Run the following command:
python -m venv myenv- Replace
myenvwith the name you want for your virtual environment. - This will create a directory named
myenvcontaining the virtual environment.
- Replace
2. Activate the Virtual Environment
Activation depends on your operating system:
On Windows:
myenv\Scripts\activateOn macOS/Linux:
source myenv/bin/activate
After activation, your terminal prompt will change, showing the name of the virtual environment (e.g., (myenv)).
3. Install Dependencies
With the virtual environment activated, you can now install packages using pip:
pip install package_name
For example:
pip install requests
To save installed packages to a requirements file:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
4. Deactivate the Virtual Environment
When you're done working in the virtual environment, deactivate it by running:
deactivate
This will return your terminal to the global Python environment.
5. Re-Activate Later
If you come back to the project later, re-activate the virtual environment using the activate command from step 2.
6. Install Dependencies from a Requirements File
To install dependencies listed in a requirements.txt file, use:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Using venv helps keep project dependencies organized and prevents conflicts between projects. If you have further questions or need help with specific configurations, let me know!
